[Chicago] Making Website for a Python Class

[Oren Livne]

Carl -- you're right, although our lab members won't have time/patience 
for more than 1 hour at a time, so I'll devote the first hour to the 
introduction. Most of them have programmed in scripting languages like 
perl or R.

I decided on github pages. I managed to create the front page: 
http://orenlivne.github.io/ober/
But how do I add content using a visual HTML editor? Some people 
mentioned Jekyll 
<https://help.github.com/articles/using-jekyll-with-pages>, but I am not 
sure how to use it. I just want to add links to pages with static 
content, with code highlighting if possible, and link back to the repo 
for the program we'll be writing.

Thanks and sorry to bother you all again...
Oren

A person is just about as big as the things that make him angry.
